Loose issues stored in publishers custom slipcase for each year except last 5 issues bound with original wraps in matching maroon vynide. Fine. A continuous run from Volume 1 No.1 1993 to Volume 11 No.5 2003. The first year comprised 4 issues, then each year from 1994 to 1998 there were 6 issues, the next year 7, and 11 thereafter. In addition there were 3 additional "Photo-Focus" issues, one each for 1995, 1996, & 1997. Publication of The National Parks Board magazine 'Custos' ceased at this time as did 'Our Living World' published by the Southern African Nature Foundation, both as casualties of the change of government within the 'New South Africa'. This privately published magazine took over the gap left with their tacit support and the intent of creating a magazine devoted to African wildlife of the quality of National Geographic but dealing exclusively with Africa. In 2001 the name was changed to 'AFRICA GEOGRAPHIC'. £395.00

SOUTH AFRICAN PANORAMA. Later "African Panorama". Partial collection, but a full run from Volume 14.1 to 43.1 inclusive, 269 copies bound into 28 volumes, gilt title on blue vynide. Fine, unread. 1969 to 1998. Originally published monthly by the Department of Information this was a prestigious periodical concentrating on communicating a modern and progressive view of South Africa to its readership. It covered developments in all areas portraying people, places, and all aspects of contemporary South African life and heritage. Distributed at a heavily subsidised cost, not only within South Africa but externally through embassies and missions overseas, even to individuals on application for a year's free subscription. The interest of this publication looking back is now to see how much was done to maintain the image of South Africa as the African equivalent of a modern European country - as it then saw itself. The message was one of continuity of development in the European tradition, and as with other eurocentric publications this was effectively terminated with the rise to power of the present government. From 1994 it was rebranded as "African Panorama" and published privately without a government subsidy, finally dying in 1998. Although not a complete collection this does cover a substantial period of almost 30 years and this again is probably unique outside of institutional holdings. £1950.00 #15847 Foundation For Education, Science, And Technology.

Complete collection No.1.1 to 44.3 inclusive as issued, except 3.3, with index volume, bound into 45 volumes, green vynide boards. All issues mostly Fine and unread. some of the earliest issues obtained to complete the set are of lesser condition, generally VG. The bindings of the 45 volumes are all Fine. 1949 to 1995. English & Afrikaans text. The first issue of LANTERN described itself as a "Journal For Adult Education" while by the last it was described as a "Cultural Journal". The content was exclusively of South African historical and cultural interest, and except in the later years concentrated on the contribution and interests of the European to the country. The issue of this publication was consistent with the Nationalist government's desire to instill pride into and knit together the European community, particulary of course the Afrikaans people. With the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990 this became gradually more inclusive. The new government policies precluded its publishing a periodical with perceived connections to the past, and expenditure on what was perceived as unecessary and non-African projects was withdrawn for release to other areas. Publication was terminated in 1995 one year after the first democratic elections. A perusal of the issues, and of the index particularly, reveal that there was hardly (if) any historical event, personage, or place, that had not been covered from a historical and cultural perspective. Over the years there were many special editions covering such areas as centenaries (Graaff Reinet had a whole issue to itself) and special interests (a special edition covering the 1820 Settlers), and other major areas of interest and activity. The index was in three parts, the latter part obviously completed hurridly in roneo form to include the £1950.00

last issue. This collection provides a unique time-capsule of culture and history from a white South African perspective throughout the apartheid era. The articles are a mix of English and Afrikaans. Starting as a fairly simple magazine format with black and white photographs this evolved to a prestigious glossy photo-journalist type format heavily illustrated with colour photographs in later years. Individual issues of this title are generally ephemeral and thus hard if not impossible to locate these days. This unique collection (we count 179 issues) may be one of a kind outside of institutional holdings and presents a rare opporunity for the collector to obtain a window to that time period. #15849 Kwazulu-Natal Nature Conservation Service.

This is a full run of this prestigious set with no missing issues over a period in excess of 60 years. Each issue contains items of africana interest as well as such matters as Obituaries, Notes & News, Notes on contributors, reviews of new pubications (many now collectable africana in their own right), interesting advertisements from booksellers and publishers, letters from readers, etc. Earlier issues contained listings of periodicals and other serial publications. While we have had many individual copies and runs of this quarterly publication, in 20 years as Fables Bookshop we have never had a complete set. Copies of earlier issues are virutally unobtainable and so this is a unique opportunity to obtain what was a highly regarded africana publication. £2950.00 #15842 South African National Parks.

The renamed South African National Parks commenced publication of this only in 1999. The accent was on SANP parks, people, plans. Now discontinued. Believed a full set as the publication agreement with Penta was terminated the following year, after which Penta were free to continue publication under the name of Timbila without the use of the SANP logo. £95.00 #15848 The Endangered Wildlife Trust.

Africa's battle for survival. The United Nations, which Smuts helped to found, became a tool to be used against him as the concept of human rights swept the world. The rise and fall of South Africa's reputation in the eyes of the world closely paralleled the career of Jan Christian Smuts.
